Build your own mini eReader

Just came across https://www.adafruit.com/product/3420

While it's small (2.7″ diagonal and 264 x 176 resolution ePaper display) I wonder if it would be practical to make a mini eReader.

I'm glad to see stuff like this becoming available but the pixel density looks too low to make it attractive for reading. Still, something denser might come along.

I have 6" Kindle and I think it's optimal. Anything smaller wouldn't work for me. Still it's cheap option and it's good that it's on a market.
